Interface design associates has introduced pio-03, a pc-based programmable i/o controller. This enhances the functionality of pc-based position controllers with:
1] additional digital inputs,
2] additional digital outputs,
3] priority interrupt inputs, and
4] manmachine interface with display and membrane keypad.
Used in conjunction with the sc-02 or the ser-01 controller, the pio-03 converts the pc into a full-fledged cnc control station. It offers the user with flexibility, programmability and reliable interfaces to digital inputs, outputs and other digital data. It gives 16 digital inputs [ttl level]. It has matching daughter boards that ensure optoisolation between the pc and the field signals. The controller gives 16 digital outputs [ttl level]. Matching daughter boards are available that convert these ttl level signals to 24 v, open collector, npn outputs with 200 ma capacity. The pio-03 controller offers direct interface between the pc and man-machine interface inlcuding lcd/led-based displays and membrane keypads. Different standard configurations of mmis come that are selected based on the application. Customised mmis can also be offered , if required.
